Question 3: (True or False)
Comprehension: 1
Use the information in the passage to answer the questions below.
From Questions (1) to (10), shade in the answer sheet the letter Ⓣ if the statement is True
or Ⓕ if the statement is False, for every question.
Kate, seventeen, suffers from tinnitus, a constant ringing in her ears. She says
the disease has built up gradually over years of listening to loud noises,
including shrill machinery at a factory where she worked, and blaring music.
Audiologists, or hearing specialists, identify both as leading causes of hearing
problems.
Americans, they say, play their personal and car stereos too loud, expose
themselves to gun blasts too often, and fail to complain about uncomfortably
loud work environments.
As a result, twenty-eight million Americans suffer from impaired hearing.
. . . Many rock-and-rollers over forty have been diagnosed with hearing loss
and have begun wearing hearing aids. . . .
A hearing loss in middle age is bad enough. But now even teens are
developing hearing problems. Kate first noticed her tinnitus when she was
thirteen. Four years later, she says that the ringing is worse and that she often
has difficulty hearing what people say. Especially loud noises, like the rock
concert, actually cause her pain.

COMPREHENSION PASSAGE:
How loud is too loud? When should you turn down the volume or
wear earplugs? The measurement tool is the decibel. Decibels measure the
amount of energy produced by sound. Experts say that exposing yourself
continuously to sound over 85 decibels is dangerous. The Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (a federal agency) recommends no more
than eight hours a day of exposure to 90 decibels in the work place.
Hearing experts say that determining the noise levels that cause hearing
damage is complicated. Holmes, the Florida audiologist, says that two
individuals working side by side in the same factory could show very
different effects from high- decibel noise exposure: one becoming severely
affected while the other is not affected at all.
From Questions below shade in the letter Ⓣ if the statement is True or Ⓕ if the statement
is False, for every question.

Breakfast Cereal
Story By: Andrew Frinkle
Jacob was looking at the row of colorful boxes in the cereal aisle at the grocery store.
It was really hard to choose. It was like a rainbow for breakfast. There were cereals
shaped like O’s. There were cereals that were flakes, puffs, or crispies. Some cereals
had fruit or nuts in them. Others had peanut butter, chocolate, or mini marshmallows.
There was really quite a lot to choose from. “Hurry up, Jacob. We need to finish the
grocery shopping and then get home for dinner.” Father said impatiently. “I can’t
decide.” Jacob replied.
“Then I’ll get the frosty fruity O’s.” Father declared. “We had those last time. They’re
boring.”
Father frowned. “The blueberry special morning bran.”
“Gross! That sounds like a grandma’s diet.” Father’s frown deepened. “Then you
choose.”
“I like this one best, but there is a cool toy in that one.” Jacob couldn’t choose.

The Catching Tree
Story By: Andrew Frinkle
Linda looked up at the tree. It was the biggest tree in town. It was so big that it
caught things that people lost. If something floated away or blew away, it was
usually caught in the tree. Linda had lost her kite. She wanted to climb up and see
if it was in the tree. She thought she saw it in one of the high branches. She had to
climb it to make sure. The branches were not close to the ground. They were high
up. She needed a ladder to start climbing up the tree. She began to climb. In the
lowest branches, she found bird nests. She went higher. She found an old
baseball. Then there was a kite that was not hers. She found someone’s kitten,
but it ran away from her. She went higher. A newspaper was caught in one of the
branches. Then there was some string. A balloon was trapped in the leaves. There
were more birds, too. She went even higher. More birds’ nests greeted her.

Back to School Blues
Story By: Andrew Frinkle
Jimmy sighed as he looked at the calendar. Tomorrow’s date was circled in red and
there was skull and crossbones drawn in the box. He groaned and slapped at the
calendar.
“What are you doing?” His sister Susan asked.
“I’m looking at the calendar.”
“I see that, but why are you hitting it?”
“I don’t want to go back to school yet.” He whined. “I can’t help it. I don’t want to get
up early, do homework every night, and sit in those uncomfortable seats for hours.”
“So what is your alternative? Will you live under a bridge?” Susan snorted, amused by
the idea.
Jimmy shook his head. “No, I could be a superstar in sports or a famous actor.”
Susan smirked. “Good luck at age eleven. Most athletes and actors struggle for years
to get where they are, and most of them are educated. I don’t really think you have
developed any super talents yet, and you aren’t particularly handsome, either.”
